General Facts
Incorporated in January 19, 1959, the City of Walnut is a general law city. Operated under the City Council-City Manager form of government, the five Council member's are elected at large to four-year terms. Every nine months, they select one of their members to serve as Mayor and another as Mayor Pro Tempore.

The City Council also serves as the Agency Members of the City’s economic revitalization and community redevelopment body, the Walnut Improvement Agency. The Mayor serves as Chairperson and the Mayor Pro Tem serves as Vice Chairperson.

The City Council appoints a City Manager to direct and coordinate administrative functions of the City, and to serve as Executive Director of the Walnut Improvement Agency.

As a "contract city," Walnut receives numerous municipal services from the County of Los Angeles or private firms through contracts or special agreements. To assure cost effective services, the City maintains in-house Administration, Finance, Recreation, and Parks Maintenance Departments.
